General Game Mechanics

 * Each "tick" of health represents 200hp. This applies to Heroes, Minions, and Structures.
 * Every Hero gains 65 hp/level, Kleese also gains 15 shield/level.
 * Weapon damage and skill damage scale at roughly 4%/level. This bonus is additive.
 * Critical damage is 1.5x against players for all weapons. Critical damage is 3x against Minions. Minions can't be crit'ed when having an overshield.
 * Critical damage Gear multiplies your crit modifier. IE 10% critical damage makes your critical multiplier 1.65 not 1.6.
 * Gear modifies your current stats not your level 1 stats. Gear is multiplicative with itself. IE 2 10% attack damage pieces give 21% more damage not 20%.
 * Structures and Minions do not scale in strength as the game goes on.
